The Returner Wants Complete Victory

8 – 008. Lycanthrope (3)

I fiddled with the status-boosting pill in my arms.

I wondered for a moment whether I should use free distribution points or stat-boosting pills.

Free distribution points are a separate stat that is not related to the training limit, so there is no harm in using them now, but if you use them now, the distribution plan will be ruined.

When the status reaches 100, it rapidly becomes stronger by 10 units from that point on.

Before returning, all my stats were in the 150s except for mana, and mana was the only one that stayed around 120.

For me, who used both spearmanship and magic, the relatively low magic power was fatal, and in the end, the low magic power held me back until the final battle.

To prevent such a situation, save free distribution points as much as possible when growth is over.

At that time, I tried to make up for what I was lacking.

I sighed and invested 5 points each into Strength, Dexterity, and Senses.

“View Details”

The free allocation points, which were 118 in total, including 117 due to the influence of the soul stone and 1 obtained as a tutorial survival reward, were reduced to 103.

I felt a little sick, but once the tutorial was over, Decalune would be kept in check in some way.

Anyway, I decided to think that I had drawn up the points I would use then and used them now.

“What should we do?”

“Student, isn’t there a side door here?”

The three of them saw the lycanthrope outside the window and fell into a state of panic.

“It sounds like a side door. “Shut up before I throw both your heads off.”

Even though I said something harsh, the three of them seemed to have no time to pay attention to me and were still chattering loudly about what to do.

I guess I’m feeling more fear from the lycanthrope that followed me right now than my sudden change in attitude.

Unlike ordinary gladiators, who appear to be unintelligent, the lycanthropes acted as if they were intelligent and seemed to be more fearful.

“hey. crossbow.”

“yes yes?”

The two women who heard me looked at me.

After a while, the two realized what a misunderstanding they were having.

I frowned and held out my hand.

“Ask for it.”

I think they mistakenly thought that the word crossbow was calling them.

I didn’t call you. Give me the crossbow.

When I asked them to give me the crossbow, the two seemed to hesitate, as if they had come to their senses.

It seemed like he was wondering if he could give me the only weapon he could use to protect himself.

“Well, if you’re going to fight, we can support you with this… .”

The light brown haired woman started talking nonsense.

It was the most normal of the three, but that didn’t mean I liked it.

I cut him off right away.

“Damn. Just by looking at it, I think I would be lucky if it didn’t stick in my back. Don’t talk nonsense, just give it to me.”

“You spoke too harshly… !”

As she continued to curse at me, the fear of lycanthropes seemed to have subsided a little, and the red-haired woman opened her mouth with an angry expression again.

It was clear what kind of environment he grew up in, as he was shameless and unable to understand the atmosphere.

“shut up. “I’m holding back from wanting to kill you right now.”

I opened my palms one last time and spoke.

“Give it to me.”

If you don’t give it to me this time, I’ll just kill you.

The lycanthrope is currently standing in front of me as if playing a joke, but no one knows when it will attack.

There is no meaning to the act of waiting; you are simply playing with your prey as a hunter.

Although the women did not feel alive, they obediently handed over the crossbow, perhaps because they felt that they could really die in my atmosphere.

I took the crossbow and arrows and spoke to the man who was sweating profusely next to me.

“What are you doing. “You should give it to me too.”

“Well, what do you mean? This could not be… ?”

The man hugged the ax as if it were his last bastion.

“Not that one. “Please ask for magic pills.”

Why would I need an ax when I already have one?

There is even a long sword under the desk that was picked up after killing the gangster.

The man looked shocked when I asked him for a magical power-boosting pill.

“No, why is this… .”

“The sh*t you made splashed on me. “Isn’t it polite to at least pay for laundry?”

A woman with light brown hair nudged the man’s side as if to give it to him.

However, the man continued to hesitate, unable to make a decision, perhaps because he felt it was a waste to give me the only item he got.

Then, he spoke with a stern expression.

“student. That monster followed us, but it’s not just our problem anymore, right? “If you don’t join forces with us, the students will be in jail.”

I didn’t listen until the end and swung the ax.

When he killed the gangster, he deliberately cut his shoulder to scare him, but this time, he cut off his neck precisely so that he couldn’t make a sound.

This man is essentially no different from the gangster who killed yesterday during the day.

I can rationalize it according to my own logic, or I can openly criticize it.

People who have no skills and are greedy enough to cause inconvenience to others are bound to end up in an accident someday when they go to Proa.

No matter how much I didn’t want to give the magic pill, that’s true.

In this situation, ‘Isn’t this your problem now?’

Is this something that can come out of common sense?

“Kya—eup!”

The red-haired woman next to her almost screamed, but the light brown-haired woman quickly covered her mouth, making it an attempt.

It was clear that the light brown-haired woman was very scared, as her eyes were fluttering, but her survival instincts certainly seemed to be good.

Whether it’s me or the chimera who’s being stimulated by the screams, there’s nothing good that comes from screaming in this situation.

This is not a district where if you scream, the neighbors will come to help.

“If you pull up the carpet in the living room on the first floor, there is a door that leads down to the basement storage. “Stay down there.”

I said as I took out the magic power-boosting pill from the dead man’s arms.

They both nodded, but the light brown haired woman looked like she wanted to say something.

I thought I knew what he wanted to say, so I answered in advance.

“You can’t run away anyway. Can’t you see that I followed you all the way here? “Either you run away while I fight, or you stay quietly in the basement. If I lose, you both die.”

The lycanthrope seemed to be getting bored when we neither resisted nor ran away, and was squeezing our hands.

Nothing in life goes according to plan.

When I first started, I was just going to dodge the chimeras and quietly go on a treasure hunt.

I really don’t know anymore.

I grabbed my weapon.

After going down to the first floor and letting the women into the basement storage room, he roughly threw the crossbow on the sofa.

In the first place, I didn’t ask for the crossbow to be used in a fight right away.

I thought he would help me in a fight for no reason, but I took it because I was afraid he would shoot me in the back and say hello.

So what is better, a long sword or an axe… .

under.

As I was thinking about the same worries I had at the beginning of the tutorial, I couldn’t help but laugh.

An ax has a handle so it can be used like a spear, and a long sword can stab.

If I had known this would be the case, I would have just chosen the window from the beginning.

I leaned the ax on the sofa and picked up the long sword.

At that time, I chose the ax because my strength was 12, but now it is 18.

“I’m waiting patiently in case someone says I’m an asshole.”

When I left, the lycanthrope was still standing where it had been.

Since it was near the merchant union building, it was a bit burdensome to fight right in the middle of the street.

I made eye contact with the lycanthrope and walked slowly down the alley.

From noble mtl dot com

The lycanthrope did not hastily follow me and gradually closed the distance as if observing me.

And the moment I turn the corner and we’re out of sight,

fault!

As if the lycanthrope had been waiting, he kicked off the wall and jumped into the sky.

The lycanthrope flew up with an agility unbefitting its size and swung its sword as if to slash at my head.

If I tried to block it carelessly, I felt like my sword would be broken in two, so I had no choice but to step back and avoid it.

The long sword I was holding wasn’t that thin, but compared to the lycanthrope’s great sword, it looked like a toothpick.

The lycanthrope must have been embarrassed when I dodged an attack that clearly could not have been seen, so it did not rush at me recklessly and carefully maintained its distance.

As I moved a little to the side, the sword moved according to my position, blocking my view.

This is why creatures called chimeras are deformed.

Not only this one, but all chimeras show the appearance of a ‘learned human’, going beyond simple instincts only during battle.

Kang-

I swung my sword and lightly struck the Chimera’s great sword.

The lycanthrope showed no reaction to my provocation and maintained its stance like a mountain.

Kang- Kang-

Then, lightly strike the large sword and change its position little by little.

That time when the lycanthrope moved his great sword according to my movements─

Swish!

In an instant, it changed direction and dug into the other side.

In order not to be swayed by my control, his arm strength increased more than usual, and the sword moved according to my position.

The lycanthrope’s reaction was delayed by half a beat, and I stabbed the sword into the lycanthrope’s heart.

finished.

The moment I thought that, the lycanthrope’s kick flew towards my head.

“What the f*ck… .”

If this continues, even if I kill that guy, my head will explode.

I had no choice but to give up the attack and roll around on the floor.

bang! Bang bang!

The lycanthrope followed where I was lying and slashed with his great sword.

After rolling around for a few more turns, I bounced up and regained my balance.

The spot on the lycanthrope’s great sword was broken as if it had been hit by a blunt weapon.

When my agility went up from 11 to 16, I felt like something had been liberated, but I guess it was just a feeling.

I thought it would work, but it didn’t work… .

It was a night where the fight seemed likely to last long.
